Artist Statement

My studio is located in a medieval church, one of many churches in Norwich now used for the arts. Within this inspiring space I create work based on the urban and rural environment, using a variety of media and pushing the boundaries between modern innovations and traditional printmaking. I am constantly intrigued by the concepts surrounding repeating, re-presenting and reworking images
Line, texture and colour are significant in my work; Line helps describe and convey meaning; the more fluid the line, the more energy and movement is expressed. Pattern and texture deconstruct the space, creating images that explore the relationship between abstraction and realism. Colour, and its infinite combinations, is used to convey meaning, to evoke memory and emotion.
After repeated reworking and revision the artwork is exposed onto photopolymer plates which are then hand pulled on my 19c Albion press, or pushed through an etching press. Printing onto fine Japanese paper enables me to explore the possibilities of using many layers of collage and chine colle, with some prints visiting the press several times. The work is complete when it stops asking for more......
